I have a 2003 elantra 5spd and I love it. Reliable, plenty of power, and great mpg. Giving the sorry state of the economy, the elantra is being bought buy working class people as their eveyrday family vehicle, not parents buying 1st cars for their kids, and retirees living on smaller pensions and soc sec. The corolla is competively price, but you can negotiate an elantra under 13g's. The civic or sentra is in the price range of a base sonata.

Giving the current state of this economy I think more working class people are buying this car as their everyday, sole, don't leave me stranded car, as well as retires leaving on shirinking pensions and soc sec,not people buying 1st cars for thier kids. I have a 2003 base 5 speed and I love it. Plenty of power and real good gas mileage as long as you don't drive it hard. The corolla is competively priced but a sentra or honda will cost in the price range of a base sonata with an auto tranny.

I am very happy with this car. I bought 2 2008 models in may 2008 for my son and me and so far, no problems.I am getting 30 mpg in town driving. I havent had it on the interstate long enough to check the highway mpg.

I wouldn't buy neither. I would recommend the Hyundai Sonata GLS. If you can drive stick, then you can find one for arround $13K, and $14-$14.5K for the automatic GLS. MPG for the 2.4L for me (5spd stick) is 25 City / 31 Hwy. The Elantra won't do much better. Now, if it comes down to Elantra vs. Accent, then I would recommend the Elantra hands down.
